Chapter 434: Investigating the Gambling Stone Field
"Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Shu Yue shook her head. "I don't think so. I'll call He Zhili. I have something to ask him."
"No need to call, he just sent me a message. I'll go to his house later to pick up something."
Fu Jingshen quickly ate a few bites, then went back to work, finishing the last bit of work before turning off the computer.
When I turned my head, I saw Shu Yue sleeping on the table.
He reached out and scratched Shu Yue's nose, which felt a little itchy. Shu Yue was a light sleeper and was woken up by him immediately.
"Are you done?"
"Well, let's go, finish things early and go home early."
Fu Jingshen took the lunch box in one hand and held Shu Yue in the other.
It’s not far from the company to He Zhili’s home, and it only takes half an hour to get there.
This was Shu Yue's first time visiting the He family. It was a single-family, neo-Chinese style villa with a rockery and flowing water pavilion in the yard, which was quite elegant.
Fu Jingshen pressed the doorbell, and soon someone came to open the door.
"Master, it's Mr. Xiao Fu who is here."
He's aunt quickly brought new slippers for them to change into.
"You're finally here. If you come any later, I'll be going to bed."
As soon as he changed his shoes, He Zhili came running over. He wanted to put his arm around Fu Jingshen's shoulders and pull him in, but when he saw Shu Yue next to him, he didn't dare to take the next step.
"Shu Yue is here too? That's unfortunate. Jing Jing isn't here with me."
"I came here to find you."
"Looking for me?"
He Zhili looked at Shu Yue, then at Fu Jingshen, "Okay, come in, but my dad is at home. He looks fierce, but he is still very kind."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Yue saw Mr. He sitting in the living room and making a phone call.
He has a serious face, giving people the feeling of being intimidating without being angry, and looks a little fierce.
He was chatting with someone about official affairs, and when he mentioned something he was dissatisfied with, his tone unconsciously became fierce.
Then he saw the guests coming to his house, covered his phone and smiled at them, which was completely different from his previous expression.
"Come on, let's go upstairs and talk."
He Zhili led the way to the study on the second floor of their house.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
He asked Shu Yue first.
"Didn't I accompany Jingjing to gamble on gemstones today? She said your friend sent you an invitation letter, so I wanted to learn about the situation at that gemstone gambling site."
"Let me ask you about this matter."
He Zhili immediately took out his cell phone and called his friend.
But it took the other party a long time to answer the call. When he heard He Zhili asking about the gambling stone field, he hesitated for a long time before he gave some useful information.
"That gambling stone field was opened by another friend of mine. He said that the market has been good recently and asked me to invest in it. I can get a lot of money. I invested a little money in it. You can't get in without an invitation letter. We have known each other for so many years, so I sent you a copy. I heard from the people there that your invitation letter has been used. Have you already gone to see it?"
"Did you come up with anything good?"
The person on the other end of the phone changed the subject.
He Zhili glanced at Shu Yue, and Shu Yue gestured for him to continue speaking.
"I found something good, an icy imperial green jadeite, which really made me a lot of money back."
"You are so lucky. You have made more than your money back. You have made a fortune. With your luck, you can make a fortune by gambling on stones and enjoy the happiness for several lifetimes. How about it? Do you want to come again next time?"
The other party was obviously trying to induce He Zhili to continue gambling.
"Next time it depends on whether I have time or not."
He Zhili neither refused nor agreed explicitly. He chatted for a few more minutes before asking him if he had the contact information of that friend.
"What are you going to do?"
"See if you can get me to join you. You know, I'm getting married soon and I have a wife and children to support. Of course I have to seize the opportunity to make money."
"You don't want to give me your contact information because you're afraid I'll give you a piece of the pie, right?"
The He family is in the officialdom, and it is not easy to have some friendship with the He family. The other party will certainly not miss the opportunity to continue to have a close relationship with He Zhili.
"That's impossible. I sent you the phone number. You can contact it yourself. It's getting late. Go to bed early."
After hanging up the phone, He Zhili copied the phone number and sent it to Shu Yue.
"Did something happen? I heard from Jingjing that you were lucky today and got an icy imperial green jadeite. Do you still want to go and play?"
"Nothing, I just think this gambling stone field is a bit strange, and I want to investigate it."
Shu Yue saved the phone number he sent her.
"This man's name is Jiang Chen." He Zhili said.
"I see. You guys talk first? I'll wait for you outside."
Fu Jingshen pulled Shu Yue's hand and said, "It won't take long, just ten minutes, and we'll go back after we're done."
Shu Yue nodded, "Okay."
Shu Yue left the study and went downstairs, where she didn't see He Zhili's father. She no longer felt uncomfortable, so she followed her aunt's instructions and went to their yard. Then she took out her cell phone and called the man.
"Help me check this guy named Jiang Chen. I've sent you his phone number. Just check it secretly. Tell me if you have any news."
After so many years in this world, how could she not have some connections of her own? It's just that compared with Fu Jingshen and the others, her connections may not be as useful.
He was already busy enough, and he also had to help her find Tong Yao. Shu Yue thought it would be better for her to check it herself if she could.
The person she found was quite reliable. She received an email from Fu Jingshen right after she got home.
"What are you looking at so seriously?"
Fu Jingshen had already entered the living room and found that Shu Yue had not followed him. He turned around and found that she was still standing at the door staring at her phone.
"Jiang Chen's personal information."
"Do you remember Xun Tao?"
Shu Yue looked up at Fu Jingshen, and Fu Jingshen recalled when he heard the name.
Xun Tao, who was in the gambling stone business and was killed in a bombing in the Mountain Resort.
"I have an impression. What's wrong?"
"This Jiang Chen was his former partner. Before Xun Tao got into trouble, he had a big fight with Xun Tao, then turned around and sold his shares, making a fortune. Not long after, Xun Tao died, and he disappeared. Now he's back in the gambling stone business. Tell me, what kind of stone can be sold for five million?"
Shu Yue's eyes flickered slightly. There must be a grayer industrial chain involved.
Fu Jingshen frowned.
"Do you suspect that Tong Yao's arrest is related to Jiang Chen?"
"It's just a suspicion, there's no definite evidence, and when I went there today, the discipline was very strict, with staff watching everywhere, it's hard not to feel like there's something fishy going on."
"It's just a suspicion that without evidence, the police can't investigate directly unless we find some clues that we can provide to the police."
If we rashly ask the police to investigate, it would only alert the enemy.
"Then I will go meet Jiang Chen and do this five million dollar business with him."
